Blackberry Maps for India

I recently bought a Curve Javelin (8900) and found that while I connected to the GPS, I could not have any maps for Bangalore (India). Apparently BB does not have any maps for India. I also travel a lot to Japan, where there are no maps too!!

Is there any alternatives that I have?

Most other proprietary software are not blackberry enabled - mainly Windows mobile and Symbian.

Google maps on BB use both data connection (GPRS in your case) and GPS to locate where you are, you should be able to see a dot on the map for your location and would move according to the direction you are going.

Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?

You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.

So, call your carrier an inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
